This approach builds strength and flexibility while minimizing joint stress, making it ideal for patients recovering from spinal cord injuries or neurological conditions. Our program incorporates specialized pool equipment and trained therapists to enhance mobility and functional recovery.

In March of 2020. I became a double below the knee amputee. Because of the professional expertise of Dan and Jackie, I went from a wheelchair, to a walker, to a cane, to now walking with two new legs. I couldn't have gotten to this point this quickly without their expertise

Upon being introduced to Touchstone's organization I had reservations regarding my new stature. I now was a double "BKA" person. My once active self was now limited and changed. Dan's Touchstone facility inclusive of a wonderful team have now taught, coached and inspired me to be the best. I am now walking on my prosthetics, rebuilding muscle, indepedently maneuvering and navigating my home environment. I continue to look forward to my visits to Touchstone to maximize my opportunity that has been extended to me. Thank you Dan Bonaroti!!! (TOUCHSTONE),

If you are paralyzed from a cervical spinal cord injury, you won't find a more kind, knowledgeable, compassionate therapist to help you put your life back together than Touchstone's team. Luke & I are anxiously awaiting the end of all his surgeries so we can return to Touchstone's awesome care to learn how to live independently.
